▶ Your Answer : I think it is better to begin the school days early. For more than three decades, merits of waking up early and consequently starting one's day early have been widely promoted. And many people proved them as true. By opening their day early, people not only can use more time earned productively, but also be healthier. These advantages are also shown in children. In a one-year research conducted by Seoul National University in 2017, children who started the day before 6 a.m. but no later than 6:30 shows more improvement in academic and development in physical growth. On average, 6 points more in tests and 2 inches more in height. On the other hand, the control group who woke up after 8 a.m. flailed significantly in both measures. According to a survey asked participating students about their emotions and feelings, more positive tendency was presented. Moreover, it is also because of many of standardized tests of the country begin early. For example. Korean aptitude starts at 7:50 a.m. which require students to get up at least 6 a.m. to arrive at test centers in time. As the test is executed only once in a year, students should be physically and mentally fully prepared for the test. However, if the students do not have a habit to wake up early, it becomes hard to meet the expectation. Numerous scientific researches tried to decipher how much time is required for a brain to actively engage in different tasks of life from putting on jeans to taking a test. According to the researches, it usually takes two hours for brain. Merely waking up and opening one's eyes cannot successfully process advanced levels of tasks. In other words, students who want to flourish on the test date must wake up two hours earlier than the test begin, which means 5:50 a.m. However, without sufficient practice before the test, it is hard for them to wake up at that early hour. By setting the school day early, students can practice it by complying with the rule. In conclusion, it is better to set the school days early, for waking up early affects positively to students academically, physically, and psychologically. In addition, considering the start time of the most important test of students' life is early and to prime up for it requires waking up early, it is truly in students' favor.
